-start IDE with fresh userdir -create (and activate) java se project -restart the IDE -open some pre-existing web application => missing server dialog appears - hmmm, why not -right-click on the project and choose "Resolve missing server" => dialog which appears is empty and there's no simple way to activate particular plugins here; I'd expect here a list of plugins which are ready to be activated/used if they are already presented somewhere in the IDE installation only note that the case when there's no serverplugin already downloaded with the distro is a bit different and is IMO handled correctly
actually this seems to be a bit different issue: -in tools -> plugins -> installed I can see that several serverplugins are installed and activated (GF-v1,2, GF-v3, Tomcat among others) -in services->server->add server I can add/register only GF-v3 -in resolve missing server dialog or new web app project wizard I'm not able to add & use any server and after restart of the IDE after enabling webapplications everything seems to be working correctly
this should be IMO resolved before merge to trunk
Yes, I can confirm that the "Add Server Instances Dialog" is empty and it should not be.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200812180201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/54449729a0aa User: Jaroslav Tulach <jtulach@netbeans.org> Log: #154713: We need to keep references to FileObjects and their listeners, otherwise they can garbage collect
I saw the following which could be related but when web/ee is activiated and then want to create web app project, it > > asks for server, since of course > > server not intstalled as part of unzip. > > > > but when click add in the web app wizard panel, instead get msg to use > > plugins manager to add plugins - this itself seems to ask a lot of users > > where in past it did not. although it could happen even when server installed but want to use another server --> is it related to this issue or instead a design change to not allow to add server clicking on add button in new web project wizard vs need to use plugins mgr ? ken.frank@sun.com
